The 4th China International Import Expo or CIIE, which has attracted nearly 3,000 exhibitors from 127 countries and regions, kicked off on the night of Nov 4 in Shanghai and runs through to Nov 10.

Three multinational firms – GSK, Cytiva and Sino Eco – which are located in the Lin-gang Special Area in Shanghai are attending the expo.

This year is the third consecutive year that GSK is participating in the CIIE. It's brought along its strong product portfolio and self-health management solutions to the medical exhibition area of the 4th CIIE, exhibiting nearly 40 products there.
